Expo/Crenshaw Station – West Angeles Church Parking Lot
Entertainment at this station will include karaoke open to the public. Booths will include those by City Lites Network Inc., Lemiert Park Book Fair, Louisiana to Los Angeles Organizing Committee, Inc. and many more.

In addition, a mime from 24th Street Theatre will be traveling along the line and performing at the 7th/Metro Center Station, the Expo Park/USC Station and the La Cienega/Jefferson Station. Portable restrooms also will be available at the four stations.

Rides on the Metro Expo Line opening weekend will be free both days from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. (Trains will run on a special schedule for the opening weekend.) Please note that the Farmdale and Culver City stations will not be open and will be bypassed by all trains. These two stations are still under construction and are set to open this summer.

Regular fares will apply on all other Metro Rail, Metro Rapid and Metro Local bus lines. Visitors are encouraged to use public transit to get to the various events, as parking will be very limited during opening weekend.

So come on out early and celebrate the opening of the Metro Expo Line!

No fares are being charged to those riding the Expo Line. Other Metro buses and trains will require fares. If you are interested in purchasing a monthly pass, there is more information here: http://www.metro.net/around/fares.
